The only reason they got anywhere was because of the two tier element and because you could run them with adsense. And because everyone was excited and they were new they broke down a little of the ad blindless. This advantage has gone and you’re left with a system that tells you there’s clicks when they’re invalid… DON’T REPORT THEM TO US YOU FOOLS UNLESS YOU’RE GOING TO PAY THEM. Filter out your own bad traffic before showing the ads Mr Chitika not after we’ve displayed them

Then they thank everyone by auditing them to death. There’s no real way to split test ads with them, unless you’re willing to do it over a month.

FWIW, someone else thinks they’re a pretty good way to make money with blogs.

Chikita (or whatever the hell they are called) was good for about a week… then they created a new term called “curiousity clicks”. What click isn’t based on curiousity? I stopped using them shortly after… so count me in as one of those 5000 that remains registered, but will never use their service again….

Hey Buddy, the “http://text-link-brokers.com/” link seems to be going to a parked page at Godaddy.

I have tried these guys also but had nothing but trouble and headaches.

I love rants!

Chitika is just playing the “we’re using lists you don’t know about” game where they make claims and then pull out some 8th tier list using some archaic popularity scoring. It’s a joke… when the started auditing people and reducing earnings by 90% without a good explanation, you knew you couldn’t trust them and in this game, trust is everything.

It’s interesting how far Chitika has fallen in the eyes of content providers. I remember when ProBlogger was pushing them heavily.
